Japan, where Twin Peaks: Fire Walk With Me was first released, was the market for a complete set of 14 VHS cassettes of the series, distributed by Amuse Video and selling for the equivalent of US$440 by August 1992, about 15,000 sets had been sold, plus 7,000 sets of equally expensive laserdiscs. This set includes both versions of the pilot. release as part of the Twin Peaks "Definitive Gold Box Edition". On October 30, 2007, the broadcast version of the pilot finally received a legitimate U.S. This version of the pilot was also offered by Warner Home Video in the United States, resulting in a rights-entanglement which prevented the broadcast version of the pilot being released for a number of years.
Lynch was so happy with the material that he incorporated part of it into the second episode of the regular series (that is, the third episode shown in the U.S., including the pilot) as a dream Cooper has about the case (at the start of episode three, Cooper gives a scene-by-scene account of the European ending, including references to events seen only in the international pilot and not the dream-sequence version, such as Mike shooting Bob). The Red Room dream sequence that ends episode two, where Cooper encounters the Man from Another Place and Laura Palmer, was originally shot for this film. Cooper, Truman, Hawk, and Andy find Bob, who admits to Laura's murder, and then is shot by Mike, the one-armed man. The international version is 20 minutes longer than the TV pilot, with a different ending added to bring closure to the story. The pilot episode, first shown on TV in the US, was released on home video in Europe in 1989.
